Exim Bank supports Rugby Team of the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences
Mr. T.C. Venkat Subramanian, Chairman & Managing Director, Exim Bank, with the Rugby Team of Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences, Bhubaneswar, Orissa
With a view to encouraging young sports talent from rural India, Exim Bank is supporting the Rugby Team of the Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences, which won the Under-14 International School Rugby Championship held in London, UK, in September 2007.
The Kalinga Institutue of Social Sciences (KISS) was established in April 1993 by a team of social workers led by Dr. Achyut Samanta, founder of the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT), to provide a combination of formal education with vocational education for the tribal children of Orissa. The mission of KISS is to bring a paradigm shift from mere schooling to innovative learning for the poorest tribal children from different parts of Orissa, with focus on formal and livelihood education and scope for all-round development.
As part of its endeavours in supporting social causes, Exim Bank's support to the Rugby Team of KISS would encompass training facilities, participation in select domestic/ international tournaments, which would enhance the skills and exposure of the Rugby Team. The Bank is also supporting the Girls' Rugby team
